In Loving Memory of Chad Alan Sears December 13, 1984 -July 16, 2025.
Chad Alan Sears passed away peacefully on July 16, 2025, surrounded by family. He was 40 years old.
Born on December 13, 1984, Chad grew up with a love for sports, playing soccer and baseball as a child. Later in life, he found peace and joy in Florida, where he embraced the beach lifestyle and could often be found surfing or soaking up the sun. He cherished time spent with friends, but above all, Chad's greatest joy and deepest devotion was to his daughter, Hannah his true love and constant light.
Though the final years of Chad's life came with challenges, his love for his daughter and his mother, never wavered. His strength, humor, and big heart will be remembered by all who knew him.
Chad leaves behind his beloved daughter, Hannah; his devoted mother, Connie; three brothers; two sisters; and an endless circle of nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends who will miss him dearly.
His memory will live on in the waves he rode, the laughter he shared, and the love he gave so freely.
